Holdens Belgian Chocolates

Now it’s hard to believe that you could get sick of sweet things but the array of things available at the market is jarring at times.
That said there aren’t as many chocolatiers as there are bun makers (I’m not sure if that’s their preferred title but I think it’s suitably fitting). This little stall, Holdens Belgian Chocolates is an importing of some of Belgian’s finest little sugary exports.
I would say that its fine brewing heritage would take precedent in my opinion but Belgian is also always going to be famous for its chocolate (that and its less well known as the only country in the world with a fully illuminated motorway system)
I sampled a couple of the chocolates on offer, the first being an orange praline with dark chocolate. Orange and chocolate will always be a fantastic combination and this devilishly bitter morsel is no exception. I also had a go at a coffee ganache. It was brilliant, not the usual coffee flavouring but a richer smokier flavour akin to actual coffee as opposed to the ones you fine in a box of Roses (or Quality Street, I can’t remember)
There’s a fantastic range available, from white to dark, marzipan (shudder) to minted milk. You can get a selection in boxes of eight or buy larger gift boxes too.
Although it’s a seriously over used phrase this is certainly one of the chocaholics among you.
